  1. Question 1

    Q1. A man standing on the top of a tower observes a car at an angle of depression of 30°. If the car is 100 m away from the tower, what is the height of the tower?

    • A) 100 / √3 m
    • B) 100√3 m
    • C) 50√3 m
    • D) 50 / √3 m

    Answer: 100 / √3 m

    Explanation: Using tan(30°) = height / 100, we get height = 100 * tan(30°) = 100 / √3 m.
